As yet, Su Jianan and Lu Boyan had not even consummated their marriage. In fact, they had already agreed to a divorce, which would happen in two years' time.
How on earth were they supposed to have kids?
Also, this topic was... it was practically a test for how thick-faced she was!
Su Jianan's face turned as red as a poppy and she suddenly grew fidgety. She did not have the courage to look at Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan admired Su Jianan's facial expressions with interest. "Wasn't she the one who'd demanded me to take my clothes off the night before we got married? Why is she blushing now?" he thought.
But he could not deny that she looked more like a shy teenager when she was blushing. There was a flicker in her eyes, one that made her look like a deer caught in the headlights. It made him feel that... that he would be facing a total injustice if he did not at least try to tease her.
He pulled Su Jianan into his arms affectionately. "We've discussed this before, haven't we?"
Su Jianan was taken aback. She could not recall ever having that discussion with him about kids. However, the look on Lu Boyan's face was convincing and left no room for doubt. Shyly, she curled up in Lu Boyan's embrace. "Did, did we?"
"You've forgotten about it so soon?" A tiny smile formed on Lu Boyan's lips, his eyes filled to the brim with affection. "That time, you even told me you love kids."
Su Jianan said no such thing. Now she could be sure that Lu Boyan was talking nonsense. Then again, calling him out on his nonsense in front of Tang Yulan was impossible. Su Jianan had no choice but to play along, so she chuckled.
If Lu Boyan continued by saying something along the lines of them being ready to have kids, well, she had already thought of an escape plan for that – close both eyes and pretend to be dead.
"But you're still young and we're in no hurry," Lu Boyan said all of a sudden. "Mom, Jianan and I have decided to wait for another two years before we start discussing about children."
Su Jianan blinked a few times. She had thought that Lu Boyan was trying to ruin her with his lies. So this was... him letting her off the hook?
She sighed in relief and smiled wanly at Lu Boyan. Tonight, she would have her payback!
Tang Yulan had noticed the intimacy and chemistry between the newlyweds, so she thought that things between them were in harmony and that their feelings were perfectly in sync with each other. Tang Yulan smiled happily. "Jianan, relax. I wasn't trying to rush you two. If you already have plans, then by all means, do as you had planned! Me? I just want you both to be happy."
Su Jianan felt an overwhelming sense of relief and nodded vigorously.
Something came up in the afternoon and Lu Boyan had to leave. Su Jianan stayed to keep Tang Yulan company.
Since the mother-daughter duo had nothing better to do, and since they both did not have much interest in shopping, they turned on the TV and indulged in soap opera.
Usually, Su Jianan would politely say no to soap operas. But today, as she sat beside Tang Yulan, discussing plots and characters, she was surprised to find that soap operas were not as boring as she had thought.
At dusk, Lu Boyan returned to see Su Jianan and his mother sitting together in close proximity. He had not seen his mother smiling that happily for a very long time.
Su Jianan had rested her form against his mother's body in a lovely and adorable manner. It was like she was a totally different person from that Little Monster with a habit of showing off her claws and fangs.
